Unwind on our iconic terrace at Flames, where Johannesburg stretches out beneath you in a tapestry of treetops and golden light. Here, elevated dining meets effortless elegance as fresh, seasonal ingredients are transformed through the purity of open‑flame cooking.

Savour sundowners that glow as beautifully as the skyline, linger over dishes inspired by the flavours and spirit of the city, and discover the joy of gathering in a space where every moment feels expansive.

For life’s more intimate celebrations, our private dining spaces offer a refined setting, thoughtful, inviting, and designed to make every occasion unforgettable.

    Both mains were delicious. Desserts were extremely disappointing. Better service was expected from such a place. We’ve definitely experienced better.

    I’m an ex SA in living in Australia. I had my honeymoon at The Westcliff over 25 years ago. I love Joburg and loved the Westcliff. The view is incredible from up there - but sadly the food and service was very poor. It was served Cold and dry and the food that took forever to arrive !!!. In the two weeks of my holiday I will rate the food at your restaurant the as the worst food and service experience in Joburg. Sadly I would not recommend your restaurant. I’d suggest to people to go up for view, but not to eat. I need to be honest, so that management can get their act together. Your Bernard Fridman

    It was my birthday the 27/04 and I was excited to spend it at a restaurant that was once fine dining with impeccable service however, Tshepiso the waiter made it unpleasant. My mom ordered a beef fillet and something that looked like a tuna salad was delivered. The BBQ wings were tasteless, the Parmesan cheese fries he recommended were disappointing as well. Tshepiso was not attentive at all and seemed very misinformed about the menu. We asked him for a different table and he since said he was going to clean it but he never did, he seemed to have delivered hand towels to every table beside ours and forgot about us. We asked for the bill and that even took time we decided to go up to reception ourselves to make the payment. The manager saved the day and offered a complimentary drink and birthday cake but our evening and my birthday was already ruined. I really enjoyed my time the first time I went which was over 2 years ago and was excited again to experience it but unfortunately it didn’t happen. The ambience and view are still breathtaking though.
